Hi Kevin, I don't leave home without my power conditioner. It's the Furman PL-PLUS. I'm not sure what a break out box is. Is there a way to access I/O through serial or parallel ports?. I thought I might be able to get a better sound card for my laptop. There must be a way to solve this problem. I did some searching and couldn't find much for laptops. I must not be looking in the right places.
